During the 19th century, there were various publications, maps, and atlases that included information about the islands in the Indian Ocean. Some notable works from that period include atlases by John Tallis, John Thomson, and other renowned cartographers. These atlases often contained maps and descriptions of different regions, including the islands in the Indian Ocean.

John Tallis (1817-1876) was an English publisher and mapmaker who was active during the mid-19th century. He is best known for his beautifully illustrated atlases and maps, which gained popularity for their decorative engravings and detailed cartography.

Tallis founded the firm Tallis & Company, which specialized in publishing maps, atlases, and other printed materials. One of his most notable works was "The Illustrated Atlas, and Modern History of the World," published in the 1850s. This atlas featured maps of various regions, including continents, countries, and cities, and was renowned for its ornate illustrations and accurate cartography.

Tallis's maps were often hand-colored and embellished with decorative borders, vignettes, and intricate details. He collaborated with talented artists and engravers of the time, such as John Rapkin, to create visually appealing and informative maps.

John Rapkin was a British cartographer and engraver who collaborated with Tallis on several projects. Rapkin was renowned for his detailed and artistic map engravings. He contributed to the visual appeal and accuracy of the maps published by Tallis & Company.
